To use it one has to use:

  make -C tools/perf LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1

Then we get it linked with libtraceevent-devel:

$ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep traceevent
	libtraceevent.so.1 => /lib64/libtraceevent.so.1 (0x00007faa50f93000)
$

Perhaps it'd be better to check if libtracevent-devel is installed and
use it, falling back to tools/lib/traceevent/ and then adding a warning
that the in-tree codebase is being used?
